For me its a tie between Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers 2005 or Paul McCartney 2005. I would prolly say Pearl Jam but I havent gotten to see them since 2000 and I had to work all day before the gig so I was too tired for it
Alpine Valley 2000

    Kings of Leon at Ziggy's in Winston-Salem, NC. Incredible live show.
    I wish I was as fortunate, as fortunate as me.

    I really don't have much to choose from: Bright Eyes, Guster, James Taylor, X-Fest (music festival put on by local radio station that featured Godsmack, Mudvayne, Alien Ant Farm). Of those, I would say Bright Eyes was my favorite followed by James Taylor.

    Pearl Jam (Vancouver 2003) and The Arcade Fire (Coachella performance and/or Warfield performance)
    It makes much more sense to live in the present tense.

    Pearl Jam and The Rolling Stones last year, hands down. Both played amazing sets. I got to see two of the greatest rock bands ever from six rows away, I got to see a killer version of RitFW, Mike solo behind his head, the Stones play Paint It Black and to cap it all off Eddie sang with Mick on my favorite Stone's song. It was definitely a night to remember.
    32 shows and counting...

    You know, I was kinda disapointed with Velvet Revolver. I'm like obsessed with VR too...i'm like the biggest fan I know lol...but I just didn't think they sounded that good. I mean they were great on stage, and getting the crowd pumped up, but their sound wasn't that good sometimes.

    The best concert i'v been to is Green Day last summer. Fucking unreal. And I wasn't even expecting it to be that good.

    Pearl Jam in Kitchener would be number two, followed by Metallica and Van Halen in Toronto in 2004.

    PJ - 7/8/03

    I have seen probably 150-200 shows of all sorts of bands, and this rockets all the way to #1. I've never seen so many people leave a show with their jaws on the floor.

    I'm excluding Pearl Jam.

    The Drive-By Truckers show I went to was pretty intense...long set-list, great crowd interaction, etc.

    most memorable and mind blowing concert for me was my first...Neil Young, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden...Exhibition Stadium 93'

    close behind would be Springsteen, all Neil and Crazy Horse shows, all the PJ shows...Stones are good but a different kind of show.

    Mars Volta
    Dropkick Murphys
    Bad Religion
    The Pixies

    hehehe!i'm from Mendoza,Argentina, and neither soundgarden or alice in chains came to argentina, so i'm going to say:
    ****La renga 19997 (it`s a hard rock band that kick ass)
    ****Divididos 1997 ( another hard rock band, with a combination of jimmy hendrix ballads and reggae music)
    ****Los Brujos in 1996 (an alternative band , los brujos were the opening band for nirvana in 1992, and Kurt Cobain stoled part of one of their songs called “Kanishka”, and then he renamed the song and called it “Very Ape”,jejeje ).
    Peligrosos Gorriones 98 ( grunge)
    Korn (in Chile, 2002)
    Pearl Jam (2005 -11-25), Eddie started to cry in the best part of this concert, when they played I Believe In Miracles! You could see the whole band surprised for our reaction
    when the song started. IT WAS FUCKING AWESOME! Argentina loves The Ramones,and this was the only country where they played in a stadium, and sold out, in 1996 Eddie was part of their tour.......So You Should download those bootlegs!!!!!.

    I Still can't believe that i was there.

    I got to see Panic three times on their last tour (San Diego, Tucson, Phoenix) and the Tucson show was absolutely amazing. Jazz jams, bass lines, drum solos, my three favorite songs were played (they never repeat a song within three shows)...what more can you ask for?

    Best show I have seen by far was TOOL at Van Andel arena in Grand Rapids, MI. The show was originally scheduled for 9/11/01 but was rescheduled for a few days later due to the attacks.The energy and performance was amazing. I have seen PJ several times, but nothing compared to this show.

    PJ was probably the best show I've been to, although NIN was damn good too. 311 Day this Saturday might overtake em both though...

    Any Pearl jam concert..
    But excluding them, I'd say Tool in 1996 (November 29) for the aenima tour at the Metropolis in Montreal. The Metropolis holds around 3500 people and that made a big difference compared to the show I saw at the Bell centre (21 000+) in 2001.
    Rage against the machine in 1996 was also excellent, just like my first Slayer concert in 2001 !!

    other than pj, it was definitely nine inch nails on may 10th last year, at the kool haus in toronto.

    if pearl jam is included, then it's ottawa 2005, followed by toronto 2000, THEN nin.

    aside from pearl jam (id pick buffalo 03 as my top performance by them), id have to go with... probably the black crowes in columbus. they rocked pretty hard.

    also contending are ben harper, rhcp/foo fighters (though i was too stoned to remember much of it), and the tragically hip show i saw on the phantom power tour.
